While this James is enumerated HALL, he has to be James HILL.  He is listed one line below Hezekiah HALL, husband of James HILL's sister, Mary Ann HILL; one line above Charles SEXTON (widower, æ 50-60), who is probably the father of James HILL's wife, Sarah SEXTON; and five lines above James HILL's father, Ezekiel HILL.  Note also that, in the 1850 census of Cape Girardeau Co., MO, there is no James HALL old enough to have been the one in 1840.
